Am I reading this correctly or do I need my eyes tested again

Correct me is I'm wrong but the way I understand it a Ricoh printer has to use gel inks, but this guy is saying that these cartridges can be filled with either gel ink or sublimation ink, it does not say gel sublimation ink.
If this is correct then the price of his subli inks in his other auction makes it an interesting proposition, assuming that you can get the correct profile for his ink.
So the burning question is, are all things that seem to good to be true, exactly that, or does this guy know something i don't.

We have questioned this before here but no real outcome. I have a spare Ricoh so might give it a try. The other ink on his listings would be large format and not desktop.

It's been tried before with Ricohs, I'm aware of a 3350 that was tested with poor results. You can get refil carts for all the Ricohs but remember what you'll be paying for genuine inks to fill them up with. If you don't want to use supported inks that's up to you, just don't discuss it on here! lol.

You'll notice the large amounts you have to buy of his sublimation ink, that's because they should only be used in large format printers. Personally (and I repeat personally) I wouldn't use this particular make of ink even if I did use large format as I'm aware of tests made to it a few years ago and the 'tester' had problems. May have been an isolated situation but it's the only time I've heard about them being tested.

If you do look at large format inks you can buy much, much cheaper than this and I repeat...for use in large format printers only!

I use this company for 'normal' inks, CIS etc. All very good.
